“It is an honor to be invited back to TechMentor and the Microsoft Campus to share my understanding of Microsoft cloud technologies. I really enjoyed myself as a speaker and as an attendee last year, and it is one of the few conferences where I was able to connect with people during lunch and in-between sessions. The speakers are world class, the venue is legendary, the event is a must-attend. Hope to see you there” -MVP Ståle Hansen

Learn how to design for cloud voice when Microsoft is switching from Skype for Business to Microsoft Teams as the primary client for meetings and conversations. You will learn the current state of calling in Microsoft Teams and when you will still use the Skype for Business client. You will also learn how to connect your own siptrunk with Direct Routing.

It should be no surprise that you should enable Multi factor to secure your identities today, but still, there is a scaring low percentage that has enabled MFA on their users and admins. Why is that? In this session, we will show you how to do it right so that you safely can enable Azure MFA without breaking the user experience on the way. It is not very complicated to do Azure MFA the right way by using MS Intune/ConfigMgr and Azure AD Conditional Access together.

Android Legacy management in being deprecated by Google, and it is time to move to Android Enterprise Management. Android Enterprise gives us many new options for managing Android devices and we can choose between options like work profile, device owner and single use (KIOSK) scenarios. This session will cover how Android looks at device management and how Intune is implementing all of those new possibilities.

So you are using OneNote as your primary note taking tool? Without structure, you might lose track of all your notes. This session is about how to get structured using OneNote to dump all your thoughts, ideas, emails and notes that are either actionable or something you want to find later and use it as the only task scheduling tool as well. MVP Ståle Hansen shows you five steps to get started with a robust framework from using sections correctly, your mobile to take notes on the go, Microsoft Flow to send email to OneNote from any device and the Pomodoro Technique to prioritize and induce flow in a busy workday. The magic is to collect all information in one section regardless of platform, the collection section. Join this session on getting structured with OneNote.
